TDP Mineral Lamp is a type of Far Infrared Therapy. It is often called the “Miracle Lamp”, as it helps with pain relief and treats back pain, arthritis, shoulder pain, joint pain, etc. as an alternative medicine treatment. The term TDP Lamp is an abbreviation for Teding Diancibo Pu which translates to “special electromagnetic spectrum” lamp. TDP lamps were invented by Chongqing Silicate Research Institute (CSRI) headed by Mr. Gou Wenbin in 1985. The TDP lamps are similar to far infrared lamps, but they are not the same. TDP lamps create mineral infrared waves that treat numerous ailments, a few common ones being back pain, shoulder pain, joint pain and arthritis. Unlike other conventional far infrared lamps, except for the support stand and the heater a TDP lamp contains a curing plate. The curing plate, the key component for a TDP lamp, is coated with a proprietary mineral formation consisting of 33 elements essential to the human body. When the curing plate is heated to a certain temperature, it emits unique bio-spectrum electromagnetic waves in 1-25 microns allowing for a maximum absorption into the human body. The absorbed energy promotes microcirculation and metabolism, strengthens the immune system, and achieves short- and long-term pain relief. Nowadays, TDP lamps are widely used by acupuncturists, therapists, and individuals on pain relief. In the past 16 years, TDP lamps have been used to treat over millions of patients with various chronic ailments worldwide. In China, people refer to the TDP lamp as the “Miracle Lamp” due to its incredible success in treating chronic ailments. They have a proven track record of success from clinical use all over the world. This is 2nd Generation Far-Infrared Technology which means it is the latest and greatest. Don’t be fooled by the First Generation lamps on the market they will not be as technologically advanced and will not perform at the same level.
